“It's hard to stand out as a standard American diner but this place was pretty good. I had the Farmer's Bowl with eggs over easy and sourdough. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the steak was plentiful and the potatoes were great as well. I also had a quarter of one of the many burgers (I don't remember what it was) and it was a solid burger. The atmosphere was nice, a little diner on the corner of a busy street. The service was just ok, practical but a little short with us.“
